Where is SengKang? Google Earth

We have been living in Sengkang (SK) since 2001.

Situated in north eastern part of Singapore, SK used to be a fishing village with abundant poultry/pig/vegetable farms.
History --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengkang_New_Town

That explains why a lot of architecture (buildings and murals) incorporates fishes, marine life, and ships. Eg Compass Point for pirates--> refer Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Compass_Point_Shopping_Centre_2,_Apr_06.JPG

Look what Google earth show?
Since Daddy is finding Wei's primary school/s, we noted down their locations.

Daddy: When Daddy/Mummy fist move here, no LRT, no MRT, and no markets/malls !! After a few years, all the babies start popping up around SK and Punggol.
